Partnership facts

• Raghu Babu personally called Fish Venkat to offer him the role in 'Imsai Arasi' (2020). Venkat was hesitant because the character was a small cameo. Raghu convinced him by saying, 'Just come for one day. We'll make it memorable.' That one-day shoot turned into a running gag that audiences still talk about.
• In 'Pelli SandaD' (2021), Raghu Babu deliberately slowed down his dialogue delivery to match Fish Venkat's deadpan rhythm. Venkat, known for his intense silence, started improvising physical comedy — like a long, awkward stare at the camera — which made Raghu break character. The director kept those takes in the final cut.
• During the shoot of 'Coffee With A Killer' (2025), Raghu Babu and Fish Venkat shared a single vanity van. They spent hours between shots discussing old Telugu films and teaching each other folk songs from their respective regions. The crew said they rarely saw them apart on set.
• Fish Venkat said in a 2022 interview: 'Raghu is the only actor who can make me laugh while I'm trying to look scary. He doesn't compete with me — he just sets the plate and lets me eat.'
• Their comic scene in 'Imsai Arasi' — where Fish Venkat silently eats a banana while Raghu Babu panics — became a viral meme on Telugu social media in 2020. It directly inspired a similar bit in the 2022 web series 'Comedy Couple' on a streaming platform.
